"internationalism" very nice way of phrasing "globalism".

I used to identify as globalist but then I was told that "globalism" actually means "wanting a (either de-jure or de-facto) world government". Definitely hard against that, so.... internationalism it is?

At the root of that idea ultimately lies a form of "humanism", which leads into that, there is some absolute concept of "morality" or the way world should be - instead of having a multi-polar viewpoint that each region and country have their respective cultures and ways of governing. Humanism has given birth to WEF, Communism and other globalist entities are wildly unpopular and nobody basically voted for. A world can function with states that support and don't support crypto or the internet in its maximalist ways.

You were right to identify as a globalist. It has a poor reputation in certain circles (see attached), but it still most accurately describes what you believe in per political science. "Internationalism" is may be a muddier subset because it relates to "between nations" - whereas globalism is a more broader concept that relates to "between people around the world". If I were to suggest a different word, it would have something to do with "dunia" - which means "world" in thousands of languages across Africa, Asia and some parts of Europe.

Why hard against world government? If it is federated enough it does not have to sacrifice the cultural/economic sovereignty of countries. It could probably just stop war + provide a basic set of human rights.

If most people were „globalists“, wouldn‘t that imply they almost inevitably would agree on some sort of global government? — Seems almost deterministic to me.
